FAQ
Which Linux distros do you support?
Ubuntu (18.04, 20.04, 22.04,24.05), Debian, RHEL/CentOS 7–9, Amazon Linux 2. Message me for others.
Do you need root access to my servers?
Yes, sudo access is required. We can set up a temporary user for the engagement and revoke it after — I will show you how.
Will this break my running applications?
I always run a pre-check and test on a non-production server first. All changes are reversible. I have never caused a production outage during a hardening engagement.
Do I get the Ansible playbook after?
Yes, always — Standard and Premium orders include the full playbook so you can re-run it on new servers anytime.
What is included in the compliance report?
A before/after comparison showing each CIS control: pass, fail, or not applicable. Includes your compliance score and any remaining manual remediation items.
